Home by the Sea Lyrics

HOME BY THE SEA - Genesis
Home by the Sea
Home by the Sea
Home by the Sea
Home by the Sea
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
stealing thru the dark of night
Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor
checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
something doesn't feel quite right
Chorus:
Help me someone, let me out of here
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea
Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door
pushing from above and be - low
shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
round and down and sideways they go
A - Em drift without direction, eyes that hold despair
then as one they sign and they moan
Chorus:
Help us someone, let us out of here
living here so long undis - turbed
dreaming of the time we were free
so many years a - go
be - fore the time when we first heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea
Sit down Sit do - own
Sit down Sit do - own
as we relive our lives in what we tell you
Break:
(measure: 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 1)
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
things that go to make up a life
endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
waiting for the morning light
scenes of unimportance photos in a frame
-m
things that go to make up a life
Chorus:
Help us someone, let us out of here
living here so long undis - turbed
dreaming of the time we were free
so many years a - go
be - fore the time when we first heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea
Sit down, Sit do - own
Sit down, sit down, Sit down Sit do - own
as we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
Sit down, sit down, Sit do - own
?cos you won't get away
No with us you will stay
for the rest of your days. So sit down
as we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you, Ooh
